 Animefringe Coverage:
The Otaku Love Quiz
By Ridwan Khan
Ah, Valentine's day - love, hearts, chocolate. What's that, you don't have any of that stuff? Don't worry, you've still got Animefringe. We've got nothing better to do. And how better to celebrate lost loves than a little quiz? Don't be scared kids, it's fun and it's informative - it's edutainment! And don't worry, unlike a certain pan-handled state that shall remain nameless, there shouldn't be any counting errors.
DIRECTIONS:
To take the Love Test, take a blank piece of paper and a
pencil, and write, along the top edge, from left to right:
A B C D
Then proceed to answer the
questions. Every time you answer, leave a mark below the
corresponding letter. (ex: If you answer B to the first question,
leave a mark below B. Then if you answer C to the next question,
leave another mark below C.) You may mark any and all answers that apply to you in a given question, or skip a question if none of the answers apply to you. Enjoy!
1. On February 14, St. Valentine's Day in Japan, women of all ages give men they like chocolate. It's an opportunity for women to express their love. They also give chocolates to their bosses (giri or "duty" chocolate).
What else could one get their man?

C) A hair sample, to be kept until genetic cloning is possible and affordable

2. Don't worry girls, the guys are obligated to return the favor on March 14, by giving chocolate to girls.

A) A little bit of poetry, lovingly thought out and written
B) A sweet simple little hug

3. After those questions, it seems to me that chocolate's your best bet. In Japan, the first two weeks of February entire aisles of department and convenience stores are filled with chocolate of all sorts.

D) I go to Cons and to the rooms where people are watching "The Quest for Odin" and look for people enjoying it

Now to the part where you find out something about your inner self in a flash of introspection. Or you continue to read and pick the category you like best. Anyway, it's simple enough for a Texas bumpkin turned President to figure out. Just count up the number of answers you got for each letter and go to the category that you have the most letters from. Alphabet soup was never this much fun.
If you answered…
Mostly A: Romantic Keeper - You're a true romantic! Anybody would be lucky to have you as a Valentine's Day sweetheart. Just don't get too sugared.
Mostly B: Just Friends - You're not looking for a relationship right now. That's cool - just make sure you don't get suckered into one anyway.
Mostly C: Obsessed Stalker - You're probably right outside my window right now. And are those pictures of me wallpapering your room?
Mostly D: Bondage Host - Didn't I see you in that Madonna video?
